Position Information: Downhill Technical Delegate

Goal: To improve the experience of our members at DH races and to ensure compliance with the technical and safety standards that are in place to govern DH racing. In the absence of standards that are applicable to DH racing in Ontario our goal is to identify appropriate standards that take into account the significant difference between UCI and provincial level races.

Spots are limited, so register quickly.


2010 OCA Spring Downhill Camp

Partial reports below, for the full reports go to the OCA

Report Day 1

So here we are back in Nevada, and as usual the trip out here was an adventure. Who would have thought that Customs wouldn't like a bunch of teenagers flying to Vegas without their parents??? Luckily we had the proper OCA documentation. From Customs I walked up to the baggage drop-off and was asked "how many bikes?" when I said 10 the reply was not reassuring "WHAT? TEN BIKES!" Yes, 10 bikes.

Report Day 2

The day started bright and early as most of the crew woke up around 830 a.m. The morning consisted of bike movies, a good wholesome breakfast and bicycle repair – what could be better? Once we had all our gear packed and the bikes loaded, it was off the mountain.
